Some more pics. 8 days and its snip time. Good enough for me. Should be done at 9 wks the 10th week is just to get 100% red hairs which to me its a standard of chopping. I dont believe in going longer but Im extracts only. Il jar up some weed for my family and that hasnt messed anything up snippin a little early.

They dont know what the best weed in the world is like or care, they arent weed snobs.

Yea my veggies are stretched a bit. Just rather do that than burn them. Besides, juggling clones of all ages is tough to adjust light so its a one size fits all. I dont even touch the light about 2’ high until clones grow into them. Then I flip them anyway.

By the way these veggies are on GLR. 12hrs light, 5.5 hrs dark, 1 hr light, 5.5 hrs dark and repeat. Should build up growth hormones and save electricity. As for flower they are on 9/15. I just got done setting all tents to it, 1 hr off a week until now. It supposed to make them finish faster and I think Im seeing that.

Any issues with rootball seems to trigger limp mode. I got many bugs in that 3x3 about to chop and its finishing off fast. So I think it works. Its got all the reason to limp right now yet Im chopping pretty confidently.

I ended up betting the roots rotted from bugs that if you scroll back youll see going past 8 wks substantially risks sudden cola death. Probably from pythium. Need to figure it out asap but some roots looked functional and using signs of when plant was alive to rule out this being trash.

I do throw plants away quickly if any botrytus or PM but this is a little different. Not the standard but Id be the only one I know to toss because of this. I know its not right but if you read up on pythium, if this has it, its likely just in rootzone. It lives in the roots but rare cases can move up the plant.

So using signs like hey this plant was 100% alive and even then was 95% orange hairs just about. Its good but its a descrepency. I might get better next round as those plants have no bugs. Just need to put all focus on figuring out how to keep them out of the pot. I think I did ok and its got to be 6-9 oz.

I was expecting 4-5 so thats great. Thats already a oz of rosin, which with new budget will last a whole grow run. 3 months. Im building up a rainy day fund fast. When all goes well I can use more daily but Im pretty satisfied as is. I just needed to try cutting back one more time. Its like a skill and allowing enough daily instead of even less helps.

Really changes the quality of highs and how long they last. I get zonked of a piece of chocolate type thing which never happened before. I needed lecithin to make it happen though or else I really wont get high. Maybe with nano tech but even that was pretty weak.

Congrats on the harvest. You've got a lot going on in here. I like a busy garden.

 

[medidedicated]

This might do. Bug be gone. I still got that stoner creativity!

About to flip 4 clones. Getting crowded.

 

[medidedicated]

I panicked and chopped the small clone turns out rootball was ok. Better than 3/3 but some health issues idk. Dont always know what it is but its a major up when you do. When you dont its like aw hell. Next time push it further but theres a fine line.

Depends if I have some harvested so I can risk it more. I dont like the sudden fade everywhere I try to keep mind of the health of rootball now to avoid consuming any plant disease. Its tough though some times they fade but sudden death of whole branch at a time.. Id avoid consuming.

Saw the box fan hanging in the tent and made me laugh because I've been there. If there's one thing I think the cannabis grow equipment industry is lacking it's decent fans. I've tried a lot from cheap to expensive and I ended up with a random assortment of ones that still actually work. The failure rate on fans is crapola. Best I think I've come across are the vornado style ones strategically placed. The amazon basic copies of vornados are decent, but their failure rate has been hit or miss for me.

Shit Im spammin today. Just lots to unload, shit, one was right. I do have a busy garden. After this next run Il be growing for no reason, all stash jars full and even some family. I decided to give weed for free I hate to ask for anything. Consuming it is good enough for me. Not always smoking anyway so might as well please them while I can.

Untill I find friends to give some to. I just like handing out bags of weed. Anyway I think I overreacted, the 3/3 rootball not even that bad. I got hella gnats or aphids picked out of the buds though. It was a good trial run taught me to be patient it might not be root rotted even with hella bugs. Maybe 2.5oz here.

 

[medidedicated]

These coming along nicely about to be 8wks full. Need to get them to 9 wks full. Work up strength to not chop early its tough.

 

[Farmer's Hat]

Thanks. I meant bonsai mothers, I cannot have too many. Plant count reasons. Still figuring out how I am going to keep more than 4 strains. Maybe have a stealth lab of bonsai mothers. My setup already is pushing the 12 limit with 16 mini plants not including mothers.

You can graft all the keepers onto one plant.

Alright need make an important note on findings. I brushed over the fact in journaling that I hand trimmed that two oz from two mini clones.. Got 20% the whole way. Before that I only got a small hand trimmed sample which was the first time yielding 20%. I wondered why it never did that again.

I was machine trimming and always getting 12% flower rosin of less quality and up to 1% dry sift rosin, sometimes much less barely anything. So one harvest totalled 14% so Im always around 12% guarenteed with many changes each grow.

Maybe that cream of crop sits between 17-20% depending on variables. Same pheno expressing differently. Because I got 20% again but only small sample of molded weed. I did trash it. So now I got a chance to press 6oz or so and see what happens.

Well it started at 16% then up to 17.5% and just did 18.4%. Got a lot more to go but so far its valid, my findings. Potency, yield and taste is through the roof to say the least. This may apply the same for smoking or bho or edibles, anything. I never knew so much could be lost from the grow to your body when consuming.

Its not something Ive ever come across but no original thought exists they say so I know Im not the first. Its dramatically increased the quality of my life hope it does yours. Hope it can be studied some day because if you know what I mean then you know something is mysterious going on here, the physics in weight dont add up.

Some of the more seasoned growers dont seem to believe me and said its all fillers and fats etc. No way in hell. Its true but not entirely. Ive been dabbing between my rosin and store live resin and theres no difference in performance. They dab different but thats all.

It doesnt add up, this means I easily lost 60gs rosin or more each harvest of about 1.5-2lbs. Only got about 100gs per harvest but I dont see 60gs hash laying around in machine trimmer or anywhere else.. This is my best contribution Il probably ever make. If its up your alley with what Im doing it may benifit you.

Ive dabbed a few strains of flower rosin like 5 home grown and not all checked every box like this watermelon ultra did. So maybe the right strain could change your mind. Its cheating! Of course people will get mad if you say your flower rosin is as good as someones live resin. I would be too just like I was finding out how much hash I lost.

No biggie we all learn and share.

The banana candy krush idk if I reported it but was 10% very messy so messy that you can scrape like 3% more off the paper in slick grease. Some strains are greasy. Like this porto leche but just somehow managed to collect a rough idea its like 10%. Ive reported 15% on the kongs krush easy to collect it sticks to itself good.

Idk about this pheno of Kk. So yea this WU has just been there for me and just found it can do almost twice as good. So its my mvp. I need to bean hunt the next strains I think will do it. Get an idea how hard it is to get an acceptable pheno.

Otherwise I feel like just mono cropping WU I love the ease of process knowing what Im getting. I can easily jar up an oz of the 3/3 tent plant and give to family. Not sweating anything but I am new to turning 17-20% off this pheno. Im quickly confident in its performance though Im already talking my shit. I said I would lol its such a crazy phenominon.

The smoke will be extra killer I can tell. It used to be less sticky smelly rough looking. These are dank as hell. Theyll love it. Free weed I dont charge nothing. Just stoked my garden can please more than just myself.

17.68% of 164.5gs flower to 29gs flower rosin. Crude oil. My jam. One ounce of hash for one dedicated grower. Why my rosin always look like lumps of shit? Theyre lookin nicer now but still lol.

 

[medidedicated]

So first chop since I started attempting to perpetuate watermelon ultra only was 14% total with dry sift rosin. The next chop was 12.64% total rosins. I lost the third round and had to bounce back. I didnt realize I should note total percent harvest which I did. I had to reread notes for the second round but thats it, just didnt note it that time.

So will just note each tent since the fail threw off the line up due to mold and bugs. Still fixing the bug issue. I think I got it. Anyway the 3/3 tent was 17.68% off 164.5gs flower to flower rosin, watermelon ultra. The vipar ks3000 was half dimmen and then 25% last week of flower. Rough ride but experimenting with less watts as possible. Its on 9/15 lighting.

So its like 5.5oz maybe little more. Not enough to give away still need to give myself first. Almost there just need one more round. I decided 45gs emergancy fund is good then bump up daily use and give away more weed. I had an old ounce laying around Il still give for xmas/new yrs gift. Its safe it was off a decent plant in terms of health.

I wouldnt give away something I wouldnt consume myself and no one really had much to say about why I shouldnt. Mold is different. Anyway my weed situation is getting better fast. The quality of my rosin is amazing hand trimming flower rosin, raised my total % harvest by 3.5 to 5% comparing to last two chops but its just one tent one clone.

Not as much as I thought it was I guess Im just rusty from harvesting already lol been 4 months. Very dry and windy now and wonder if the different season being winter the clone yielded less hash idk. I was expecting 20% but always plan for the worst so I kinda had 18-19% in the back on my mind so I got what I was expecting at the very least.

So its real yall, my rambles sometimes are valid lol. 5% increase is amazing. Just think what that means when you hand trim in general for any end product. Well last of my rambles today will say I learned seeded weed can taste transfer to rosin and make it harsh. My athsma upset feels like throat is closing so I know thats athsma.

Usually when its like that it means to a normal person youd eventually get irritated/sore throat or what ever happens to a normal person smoking seeds. I just sense it faster. So I now hate to see herming and seeding like everyone else. Was talkin so much shit about it not being a bad thing.

It can out grow it that I learned its true if you like the strain run it again. Idk how it didnt ruin my watermelon when it first seeded but I burnt the rosin anyway but it didnt upset athsma or taste like ass damn. So new plan is to dry sift them and press to rosin and lose a shit ton of yield but its better than physical pain.

So since I lost the line up Im gonna flip two more clones one Kongs krush and one porto leche as its all I have to flower for next 9 wks anyway. Flooding with watermelon again asap. Need WU cuts left and right. Im zeroing in on the ultra until I have problems having too much weed and need to hand it out to strangers at that point vs trash.

Then Il take a break lol. Growings addicting idk just let it engolf you dont look back lol. Its about paid off though and turning a profit so theres that. Spent like a year buying equipment and replacing half of it I disliked after testing them out.

The PL and KK is not worth saving Il just dry sift and press those until their gone. 10% yield is just not enough and the herming might become a problem.

 

[medidedicated]

New plan I guess my watermelon is just a special gal. Im gonna toss the other strain clones that are ready to flip and just go all ultra. They can produce enough to get by and already almost able to raise my daily limit due to how well Im doing. I really pulled a risky one running fertile hermies.

It really does ruin the rosin. Taste is bad and very harsh. Athsma triggering. I lose a shit ton of rosin dry sifting it and pressing that. If it seeds my ultra Im screwed by 50% and my enviorment and setup is tough to run. Its rewarding if all goes well but thats a lot of work for 50% or more lost in rosin.

This ultra is just ultra fine. Idk how it outgrew fertile male parts to sterile seedles but I need that as bad as the next grower now. I didnt recall it trashing the rosin but it does damnit. Maybe learn bho. I dont like what I heard about qwiso giving headaches I dont doubt it. Bho might be better its traditional but dangerous.

Roomies wont allow it probably. Id have to tell them what Im doing and they already think this is too much. I dont want to push it and theyre used to things as is.

Chopped the porto and kongs I dont care for them. The PL had nanners or sacs every where like damn. When its that bad Id definately toss. The watermelon ultra seeded bad the first run I know it seeded itself it was the only plant.. Though I only saw two spots of nanners on the whole plant. I adored the plant from a sample so when seeded I made sure to find the nanners sacs.

I only saw two but they were clearly fertile but thats not bad considering it never seeded again. It does still grow sacs and nanners especially when its dramatically stressed. No seeds though. So when I find a replacement in need or just because, Il run one plant in each tent. If this pollen fest didnt seed my ultra she either is somewhat sterile if thats even possible or the distance/obsticles were enough.

That way I know if its a bad hermie or not. Maybe run one plant in the whole room and one plant in tent downstairs if that dont work. If it works in same room seperate tents thatll be cool, I can do 3 plants there and one downstairs unless Im vegging in there. The kongs didnt see any nanners sacs maybe a couple during start of flip but maybe it can out grow it.

Maybe can out grow it or never had pollen at all idk because two plants one tent so its hard to tell. Theyre both heavily seeded. So that would be my herm test if to find a new mother if I had to or if I found something cool. I might run a few strains at end of the line when I need to take break due to having too much.

So far the last couple test strains didnt have more than 10% flowerr rosin yield. Idk but one was marketed to and another was from watching another growers results which I didnt get. So idk how hard it is to get a decent yielding pheno idk if its my enviorment or genetics..

Lastly I bought mara hydro fce1500 two for each 2.5x5 tent they will have box fans above each light. Will be real comfortable growing bigger plants like I got to see in my 3x3 with similar style setup. This kongs krush is a nice pheno idk if its a bad herm but hell I just want predicable results and no nerves racking. So hopefully with that Il get like 8-10oz per tent. Maybe 6-8oz in the 3x3.

Dissapointed in bud yield only 37gs but the flower rosin yield hit 20% in one run so shes there. 19% overall flower rosin yield. 7.17gs watermelon ultra flower rosin.The unlabled pic is an eighth flower 20% run. Pic of texture demonstration added. Primo stuff. Thanks for visiting. Peace.

 

[medidedicated]

Grow was just paid off but put myself another 400$ deep lol. The life. Hoping its more aero dynamic. Im a BAB grower now. Box-fan Above Bar-light grower. Who does GLR veg lighting. 9/15 flower schedule. Im high. I hope you are too. Peace.
